Chapter 49: A Stupid Offer

“Mikki, I didn’t think you were going to be so straightforward. I mean, she seemed to be pretty powerful, don’t you think? Weren’t you scared?” Fitz asked her as soon as they crossed the invisible barrier of the Enchanted Forest.

Mikki could feel her cheeks burning with shame, but she didn’t look back once. She knew she had been very aggressive towards the Silver Witch, and she couldn’t even begin to explain what came over her.

“I don’t need someone to judge me now, Fitz. I’m already doing it to myself, thank you,” she retorted bitterly.

“Why are you being so rude? We’re all trying to help you here, but you don’t seem to want help,” Fitz scolded her, and Mikki bit her lips angrily.

“I know, alright? I don’t know what’s going on with me. I’m just… so stressed,” she explained. “I didn’t want to be rude to her. Or you. I’m just scared, Fitz. We came all the way here for nothing, I don’t know what to do,” Mikki choked on her cry.
